Thanks. I get the following:

  Candidate: 2:19.1+dfsg2-2
  Version table:

What explicit version number do you suggest that I try?  Running "apt 
install kodi gnome-control-center" tells me that

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kodi : Depends: kodi-bin (>= 2:19.1+dfsg2-2) but it is not going to be 
installed
        Depends: kodi-bin (< 2:19.1+dfsg2-2.1~) but it is not going to 
be installed

But if I run "apt install kodi-bin=2:19.1+dfsg2-2", I am told

kodi-bin is already the newest version (2:19.1+dfsg2-2).

Regards,
Tristan
